巌哲 (Gantetsu in Waseda)

ラーメン 巌哲

Maguro ramen is uncommon. Usually, heartier, smokier dried fish are used to make the soup. The flavors just match better. And when you pair maguro tuna with a light shio broth, you'd better know what you are doing.

The Chinese characters in Gantetsu (巌哲) translates to rocky philosophy. This was fitting, as I was meeting with my friend A from Philoramen. I'll keep his name anonymous, as he is a philosophy researcher whose character may come into question if his ramen obsession was found out by the academic world.
